He has been a poet, an essayist and reviewer, a visual artist and owned a printing and publishing business in Vancouver for almost 20 years. He moved to Royston 13 years ago where he continues his subversive activity. In Vancouver, he was part of Intermedia in the late 60s and early 70s, the Museo Internacionale de Neu Art, a founder of several visual arts organizations including Artropolis and the Roundhouse, and a past board member of CVAG.

==============

Why Show N Tell?
Any person with an interest in the visual arts is invited to Show N Tell. Whether you’re an art student, collector or art practitioner, or supporter or culture this is an opportunity to promote your cultural involvement with arts in the valley, to get practice speaking in public, build up your CV or resume and meet others in the arts community to exchange ideas, contacts and information.

Do I have to show my own artwork?
No, as long as it is visual arts related, you can give a talk about art or artists that you like (or don’t like)
It can be about your travels that relate to visual art (museum, gallery, architecture, etc)
You can present about art movements that interest you (a talk and slideshow about Impressionism, Egypt, etc.)
Maybe you collect something and would like to share it with others? (crafts, pottery, vases, paintings, 1940’s appliances)
Maybe you have a thesis to share (romantic scenes from 20th century movies causes…)
Maybe you have a cultural theory to share? (advertising causes us to…)
And yes, you can show your own artwork too!
